Harry couldn't help but shiver with foreboding as he looked at the Riddle House, regardless of the disrepair and being unkept. The last time he had seen the house it had been dark and he had been tied to a gravestone. He shivered, and looked away, trying not to think of the night in which Cedric died.

But she was determined to help him, and to reinstate a sense of normalcy for her whole family, and it seemed like Harry was going to become the first priority, do to what he had already endured and how it was affecting him.

Hogsmeade was full of people, most of whom were holding the Daily Prophet and gawking at the castle, which still looked to be in shambles. Harry kept his head down and wished that he had brought his invisibility cloak with him, for as soon as he set off, there were shouts of “That's Potter!” “Harry Potter!”

The two goblins led them out of the main hallway into another, smaller room with a table and a set of chairs around it. Harry, Ron, and Hermione sat down, Harry feeling slightly nervous as he met the goblin's stern gaze.

“I did know that bit of information,” laughed Robards as he stuck his hand out for Harry to shake. He seemed like the friendly and likeable sort. “Now Mr. Potter, Kingsley told me that you might be interested in becoming an Auror. Does the career path still appeal to you?”

There are still Death Eaters out there, and make no mistake, they are thirsty for revenge. And as Harry was the one who killed their leader, and because the rest of you are directly involved with Harry and with the war, you are going to be their main target.

We are only strong as we are united, as weak as we are divided. Differences of habit and language are nothing at all if our aims are identical and our hearts are open.’ These words are no less true now than they were when Professor Dumbledore first spoke them. Do not let peaceful time lure you into false pretenses of who is good and who is not. Let us crush any uprisings by standing together despite our differences. Our government has begun to change. However, it takes the people to bring it about.
